We voted YES to authorize a strike by a whopping 91.5%! Columbia won’t budge on protecting student workers from an authoritarian takeover and a cost-of-living crisis—it’s time to turn up the pressure.

A Union for Instructors, TAs, and Researchers at Columbia University | @UAW Local 2710 | RTs ≠ endorsements. @swcolumbia.bsky.social
- After 10 weeks, the strike is over! We are thrilled to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with @Columbia. This is a historic moment for labor in higher ed, and it is just the beginning. We look forward to getting back to work and compensation for our back work.
- First you fired our union president. Now you cancel bargaining 2 hours before it was set to begin. Columbia admin, is this what you call bargaining in good faith? Was our rally too much to handle?
- Hi @AOC! Columbia teaching and research assistants are going on strike on Monday. The university won’t pay us a living wage and refuses real recourse for discrimination, harassment, and bullying. Pls come support our picket!
- We are on strike (1) because of Columbia's unfair labor practices and (2) because we deserve a living wage, comprehensive healthcare, and protection from discrimination and harassment. #CUonStrike Donate to our strike fund:
- Within days of assuming top role, CU trustee-president Claire Shipman personally intervenes to terminate the appeal process of disciplined students and workers, including Grant Miner, shattering any illusion of due process.
- BREAKING NEWS (tinyurl.com/no-more-auster…) Columbia University proposes cutting incoming PhD cohorts in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences by up to 65%, according to faculty sources.
- Breaking — Columbia walks away from bargaining, threatens legal action over request for members to attend bargaining remotely amid DHS raids. Columbia administration’s bargaining team stole a member’s computer and left the room during our first session because they were on Zoom.
- Columbia fired our union president the day before we start bargaining—less than a week after allowing ICE to abduct our coworker. Join us tomorrow to make sure they can hear us from the bargaining table!
- Replying to @DannyDeVitoThank you so much for the boost!! For people just learning about our strike now, please visit our page for more resources, and donate to our strike fund to support workers who have been on strike for FIVE WEEKS now:We are on strike (1) because of Columbia's unfair labor practices and (2) because we deserve a living wage, comprehensive healthcare, and protection from discrimination and harassment. #CUonStrike Donate to our strike fund: opencollective.com/student-worker…
- Sorry, we can’t come in today. Or the next day. Columbia won’t agree to fair compensation, expanded health care, real recourse, and recognition. No contract, no work. #CUonStrike
